Fix skin tone in Photoshop easily and accurately

This 10-minute video tutorial will show you how to easily and accurately fix skin tone in Photoshop using a curves adjustment layer and its associated making layer. If you have never used curves or have been intimidated by them, you should watch this video. I break down the process of how to fix skin tone into easy to follow steps.
